AGIGANTIC SCHEME.
The Standard Proposes a Crude Oil Line
from Chicago TO New York.

The Standard Proposes Crude Oil Line
from Chicago TO New York.
TOLEDO, o, November 30.-It leaked
out here yesterday that the Standard Oil
Company has on foot one of the most gi-
gantic schemes ever put into operation, 1t
being nothing more nor less than the lay
ing of a grand trunk crude oil line from
Chicago to New York Their agents have
been busily engaged for week or 50 in
securing rights Of way through Allen and
Van Vert counties, Ohio, and Noble and
Allen counties, Indiana. Work is to be
commenced on the Chicago division at once.
The line will 20 through the best oil fields
in Ohio aud Indiana, thousands OF acres OF
which are being leased every week for the
purpose of oil development.
Ever since oil was discovered in this
State the Standard has been building up
itS trade in crude oil and manufacturers
have devised means of using it to advan-
tage and it is generally conceded that it is
the coming cheap fuel. 1t is to supply
this rapidly increasing demand that the
Standard has determined TO construct its
pipe line. IT is estimated that the line
will cost IS, ,OOO, 900. 1t is proposed TO pipe
through ten-inch maine, the number to be
governed by the demand for oil. Huge
refineries are to be built at New York and
Chicago to be run in connection with the
fuel trade.
The Inter- State Commerce law has in
creased the railroad bills of the Standard
to such an extent that the cost OF the pipe
line will be saved in transportation bills
in few years. The law has been really
the means of the step which the Standard
is now taking.

thing of sensation was created here this
evening by publication in the State Josr-
nal ofa column article showing alleged evil
dence upon which Writ r. Neale, promi-
nent citizen, and one Of the county road
contractors, was indicted by Grand Jury
on three courts for fraudulent transactions
in letting read contracts. Quite number
of prominent men are implicated, but no
indictments being found against them as
YET, their names are not given 10 the public.
The burden Of the alleged evidence is that
when the contracts were let for public
roads, Neale refused to accept low bids
from responsible parties, and subsequently
let the contracts to other men in the clique
at higher amounts. In other cases
other contracts were let, the amounts
to be paid as alleged were raised secretly,
farther that old contractors were docked
certain amounts for not complying with
contracts, and the amount of dockage was
not turned over to the county but given to
a new contractor, From testimony pub

morning when a reporter called at his cell
in the tOmbs, "Of course we shall appeal to
the higher Courts, as in the Sharp case, "

MY case is somewhat similar 10 his,
and hope for a reversal OF the Judgment.
II must be so for the sake of free speech. ="
Most also said that since his arrest he
has received letter from several of the
Chicago Anarchists, but be refused to dis
close its contents. He said the treatment
he had received in American prisons was
about the same as he had met in Europe.

Profitable Season for Vessel Owners, Hut
Disastrous To Insurance Men.
BUFFALO, n. T., November ~, 0,-The
Commercials summary of the business of
lake navigation for the season of 1857,
published to-day, says: The season, as a
whole has been peculiar one. 1t has
been unusually profitable to owners Of
vessel property. Rates on grain, coal, ore
and lumber, have ruled high during the
entire season, hut it has been q most dis
astrOus one to insurance companies, on ac-
count of the numerous heavy gales and
unsatisfactory to canal boatmen on account
OF railroad competition at this port.
The movement OF chief articles OF COM
merce for the season has been very heavy,
exceeding that of any preceding year, with
one exception. The total figures in round
numbers arc as follows: Receipts at Buff
talo, by lake--Grain, lOl, 900, 600 bushels;
lumber, 265, 0GO, 900 feet. Shipments at
Bufalo-Gra by canal 81, 0U0, 600 hush.
els, by rail 81, 600, 600 bushels; lumber, by
canal 81, 600, 600 feet; coal, by lake ,sOO,-
600 tons.
These figures give very fair idea Of the
enormous proportions of the commerce of
the port OF Buffalo, which is in remarka-
bly, healthy aud progressive condition.
